His law practice's slogan: "No good deed goes unpunished"
In Beykoz, Istanbul, Salim Emre Hocaoğlu killed his renter and injured
two other people so he was sentenced to 23 years and 7 months in jail.
Last Tuesday, Hocaoğlu had a meeting at the Maltepe L-type Prison with
his lawyer Hüseyin Sever. In the course of their chat, Sever passed a
napkin to his client and this caught the attention of the guards. So after
the lawyer-client chat, Hocaoğlu was searched and the guards found
illegal drugs in the napkin he took from Sever. (!)
Sever was taken into custody at the prison gate. He explained that:
"I'm having family problems so I got some drugs from a person I know
in Tarlabaşı (Istanbul neighborhood famous for drug dealing). I'd
forgotten that I'd wrapped the drugs in a napkin that I put in my pants
pocket. When I saw my client perspiring during our conversation I
offered him the napkin to wipe his forehead." (!)
When Sever was brought from the prison to a courthouse for processing
he repeated this explanation. The judge, though, didn't buy it and ordered
that Sever be arrested for drug dealing.
Napkin shortage under review.
